A silly screenplay makes this drive-in style Z grade science fiction/horror movie quite a treat for those who like bad cinema. The moment that I saw that John Carradine was in it, I knew it would be a delightfully bad campfest. I'm sure there were people back in the 1960's and 70's who said, "Guess what. I saw a horror movie last night, and John Carradine was NOT in it!" Carradine is joined by blonde bombshell Joi Lansing (in her last film) as the screaming sexpot desired by a Yeti, seemingly to help raise his offspring (one of whom is "The Wizard of Oz's" Jerry Maren in a Yeti suit, screeching like Donald Duck),John Mitchum and nephew Christopher Mitchum, and veteran B leading actor James Craig. This is overloaded with ridiculously silly dialog, laughable situations and a cheap looking production that must have seemed blurry and fogged up on a big drive-in screen. Between the Yeti squeaks, Joi's screams and Carradine's non-stop preaching, this film is often headache inducing, but there are often laughs at the movie's attempts to be serious. The bluegrass background music and presence of Doodles Weaver makes this seem like something that should have been buried in the corn field on "Hee Haw".
